THE TALENTED MR. WRIGLEY

Savor a slice of history at the brand-new Christopher’s at the Wrigley Mansion, a culinary concept from James Beard Award-winning chef Christopher Gross. Nestled adjacent to the storied Wrigley Mansion, the intimate 26-seat dining experience boasts floor-to-ceiling glass windows and a retractable roof, seamlessly bringing in the enchanting desert surroundings. Patrons can indulge in a seasonally driven eight-course tasting menu, while a dedicated Christopher’s Classics menu will be available Sundays and Mondays, and a lighter tasting selection during lunch Tuesdays through Saturdays. “Gastronomy has led me around the world learning, creating, exploring, experiencing and embracing my love of food, wine and hospitality,” says Gross. “As we focus on providing an extraordinary experience for our guests, we consider all options. A tasting menu is exciting—an experience filled with wonder and anticipation.” Let the adventure begin. 602.522.2344, wrigleymansion.com/christophers

CHECKING IN

Designed by Studio 11 Design, Canopy by Hilton Scottsdale has made its grand debut as the first new hotel in Old Town Scottsdale in more than a decade. Drenched in the spirit of the Southwest, the 177-room property delights with paintings by Arizona native Frank Gonzales and canopy beds inspired by the topography of Camelback Mountain. Grab a bite to eat at Cobre Kitchen + Cocktails or zip up the elevator to the Outrider Rooftop Lounge, where poolside libations await. “Capturing the extraordinary beauty of Arizona is no easy feat, but Studio 11 Design executed the vision spectacularly,” says general manager Devin Mahoney. “From the moment guests arrive, they’re engulfed in the glamour and majesty of the desert. Canopy Scottsdale embodies everything that makes the Southwest an enchanting escape.” 480.590.3864, hilton.com

THE CHEF IS IN

Even in the face of a pandemic, celebrity chef Nik Fields continues to expand her culinary empire with the debut of Midtown Phoenix’s new Chic Chef Co. Cafe & Marketplace. The 3,000-square-foot restaurant—teamed with an adjacent 800-square-foot marketplace—offers Fields’ health-minded dishes that go big on fresh seafood, meats and veggies, while the marketplace houses the maestro’s own brand of olive oils, balsamic vinegars, spice blends, pastas, popcorn, cookies and more. Fields says it best: “When you’re a visionary driven by passion, you have to follow through when an opportunity presents itself!” chicchefco.com
